Same here. Emeralds are very cool and get the job done.
I break a couple of them on purpose to give my guys some natural food.

When I do this I rinse the rock with SW before I put it back in my tank, just in case some spores got on the rock.

Yes, but I want it to spread. It gives the emeralds a food source they like and keeps them busy working. I only break 1 or 2 small ones. NEVER a big one. May need and army at that point. ***)
